Whether a life artist, dropout, surfer, or full-blooded musician - Jules Ahoi primarily sees himself as a cosmopolitan. Growing up in Osnabrück, he played in ska and punk bands as a child, discovered hip-hop at the age of twelve, and then established himself with folk music in the surf scene. Restless and always in search of something new, he traveled to France and Spain with a rusty van and his guitar, where he made ends meet with street music and modeling jobs. Upon his return to Germany and his move to Cologne, he finally felt for the first time that he had arrived.
Jules Ahoi addresses universal themes on "Dear ____" and finds an emotional yet thoughtfully crafted sound language for it. He processes his personal experiences from the past years – the death of his father, the concern for his grieving mother, and the breakup with his girlfriend. Anyone with a minimum of empathy and enthusiasm for exciting art is likely to feel addressed. On the underscore of the album title, anyone can write the name of their own addressee. Jules Ahoi would write "Papa" there, maybe also "Mama" – or the name of his ex-girlfriend. "Dear ____" is a deeply personal record for him.
The single "Oh, Agnes" tells of upbringing and gender roles, of identity and its formation process. Just as each individual is a jumble of influences, experiences, and events, showing only a snippet of what could have been possible, this song is also shaped by breaks and various influences.
